Leckford is a village and civil parish in Hampshire, England. It lies on the eastern bank of the River Test just to the south of its confluence with the River Anton, to the east of Longstock and south of Chilbolton. The parish has a population of around 136[1].
The parish church, St Nicholas's has a 13th century core, rebuilt in the 16th century and much restored since. Leckford was on the Andover Canal which later became the Andover and Redbridge Railway, but did not have a station. The route through Leckford today is used by the Test Way long distance footpath.
The parish contains the Leckford Estate, owned by the John Lewis Partnership.
